Forget about UNLV’s football team finally winning a game in which it trailed in the fourth quarter. The Rebels’ 41-38 comeback victory over Hawaii early Sunday was their first win in a game they trailed at any point under second-year coach Tony Sanchez.
UNLV has now led or been within a touchdown in the fourth quarter of 14 of 19 games under Sanchez, but only had a handful of wins to show for it before erasing a 38-31 fourth-quarter deficit in Oahu.
